Remember, my brother was extremely passive, and my mother had a
paranoid streak a mile wide. She told him that if she gave him
a key, he'd just go and lose it, and then someone might find it
and who knows what would happen. So he accepted this, and she
held out until she got cancer and needed help, about a decade
ago. Imagine someone in his 20s being told that he was too
irresponsible to be given a key to the house, the psychological
damage that certainly caused. According to Jonathan, she also
told him that there were gremlins (I don't remember what they
were called) who would sneak into the house at night and move
stuff around so you couldn't find it any more. I believe that
this has been the subject of movies and stories. I'm not sure
what my mother actually said to him, but my brother seriously
believes that she seriously believed it. Of course, the question
then arises, if they could get into the house anyway, who cares
about the keys?

Hardly a wonder that several of my girlfriends, when introduced
to the family, made me promise never to set foot in the house
again. I considered the promise expired when we broke up, so I
went in there maybe half a dozen times in the space of 20 years.
I essentially did not know the kid until my mother got sick and
ineffectual and Jonathan was about 30.

Oddly, despite my gourmetty reputation, I seldom have a
craving for fancy.
